Patent GB-190122834-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Rock Drills.
Inventor: CRIPPEN HENRY DURELL
Filed: 1901-11-12
Granted: 1902-02-20
Abstract: 22,834. Crippen, H. D., Maxwell, G. S., and White, G. Nov. 12. Rock drills, percussive electric. The motor B and the controlling-mechanism are carried in the fixed casing A and its rear extension E, while the drilling-mechanism is mounted in a separate casing J, which is movable independently of the motor on guides by the feed-screw L. The drill is retracted againat the spring 9, which delivers the blow, by crown cams R, Q, the latter being attached to the drill spindle, and the former R being driven through spur gearing from the telescoping shaft of the motor B. The cam R is mounted in an externally-screwed shell 28, which can be screwed backwards or forwards in the casing to adjust the length of stroke and also to render it inoperative when starting the motor. This movement of the cam shell 28 is effected by the spur gearing 51 through the telescopic shaft 46 operated through gearing 41, 45 from the handle F. While the cams are being drawn out of gear, a screw-operated clutch (not shown) is also being brought into play to connect the cam C, Fig. 11, to the handle F, so that further movement brings the switch arm k over the starting-resistances to start the motor, free of load A spring connection allows the cam C to turn back without returning the switch arm k, which is closed by the magnet V in the motor circuit. In case of overload, this magnet attracts a catch y from the lever x to break the circuit. The lever x is restored by a lever k<1> and projection j on the main switch arm k, when that returns. An independent switch 66 is also provided. For feeding the drill, the handle F and its spur-wheel 41 are pushed in to engage the spur-wheel 55 on the tubular shaft 56, from which the feed-nut M is driven by gearing 58, 63. The handle is held in either position by a catch 44. To rotate the drill, a shell, surrounding and feathered to the cam Q, has a cam-groove 35 on its surface engaging one or more fixed pins, so that the shell rotates as it is forced alternately backwards and forwards by a spring and by a projection on the shell of the driving-cam R. In a preferred form, two sets of oppositely-inclined ratchet teeth alternately engage and disengage to rotate the drill. The casing is hinged on the horns 96, Fig. 12, of the support, so that, by withdrawing either hinge pin, it can be turned to the other side for replacing a drill. A single motor may be used to drive either or both of two drills, as shown in Fig. 14, where the appliance is mounted on a quarry bar. The motor part A is fixed and the drilling-mechanism J is movable in relation thereto. Separate handles F are provided, but are coupled through cross-shafts and clutches, so that separate or dependent action may be obtained.

Title: Improvements in and connected with Stop Motions for Doubling Twisting or like Machines, Part of said Improvements being applicable to Spinning and Non-stop Motion Twisting Machines.
Inventor: SYKES EZRA
Filed: 1903-11-25
Granted: 1904-10-06
Abstract: 25,715. Sykes, E., and Sykes, E. Nov. 25. Stop motions; tin rollers.-In doubling, twisting, and like machines, provision is made, without the use of tension pulleys, for stopping any individual spindle on the failure of an end. The top roller 7 is carried by a rocking frame 9, mounted on a fulcrum 10. The lower portion of the frame carries an adjustable weight 11 and an extending member 9<111> having a suitably-shaped end, preferably covered with leather, to act as a brake on the wharl 12. A lug 14 formed on the boss 13 normally engages with a projection on the end of a sliding bolt 16 around which is confined a spring 19. Each thread 35 passes through an eyelet 30 on a balanced detector 29 to which is loosely attached a finger 31 ; on the other side of the rollers the doubled thread 36 passes through an eyelet 33 carried by a balanced detector 32 pivoted at 32<1> and carrying at its other end a similar depending finger 34. Should the thread break in either place, the detector will overbalance and cause one of the fingers 32, 34 to fall between a plate 21<1> carried by the sliding bolt 16, and a projecting wiper 27 formed on a shaft 21 rotated from a pinion 23 on the bottom roller shaft by a train of wheels 22 held in contact therewith by a trigger or latch 25. The wiper 27' will then, in rotating, force back the plate 21<1>, thus releasing the other end of the sliding bolt 16 from the lug 14, when the weight 11 will cause the frame 9 to swivel on the fulcrum 10, forcing back the sliding bolt and moving the plate 21<1> out of the way of the wiper 27<1>. At the same time the top roller 7 will be lifted clear of the bottom roller 8, and the brake 9<111> will be brought into contact with the wharl 12, thus stopping the spindle. A curved slot is formed in the bottom part 9<1> of the rocking frame, and the driving-cord 5, passing through, is slackened by the motion of the frame shifting it laterally on to a smaller diameter of the tin roller 2. The tin roller may be constructed in sections, each section having two diameters, and fitting into one another at the ends which are soldered together and strengthened by discs or plates between each joint; or it may be made in one or more lengths with corrugations at intervals to form the requisite different diameters. This part of the invention alone may be applied to spinning or twisting machines for stopping the spindles, the driving-cord being moved laterally from one diameter to the other in any convenient manner.
